View Full Version : Oh we thought you said a junk not a super battleship

After six good patrols and one flog I get a new Balao class. Ordered to anti-shipping around Truk lagoon. One night I sneak in and find the Yamoto anchored parallel to a Fuso battleship. Very carefully I position myself bow to Yamoto and stern to Fuso. I let 'em have it. All torps gone and two battleships under our belt we sneak back out with destroyers hunting us everywhere.

Entering Midway we expect a heroes welcome and Medals of Honor. Instead we get a cup of orange juice and a Mk. 14 reload.

Should I send a letter to the War Department? :stare:

No one probably heard of the Yamato by then so they must have not known the impact. I'm pretty sure the Japanese know though. :arrgh!:

Orange juice? What I would give for a glass of lovely fresh chilled orange juice :hmm: . Besides you should have surfaced and engaged them simultaneously with the deck gun. "It would be glorious comrade!":rock:

OK, I'll bite, LOL...

You were lucky to have juice!! We used to have to suck on a damp cloth while looking at a picture of an orange!!!

Next!;)

Luxury. We had to suck on dry asbestos, whilst sitting under a sun lamp. Tell that to kids these days and they just don't believe you.
